Top 3 benefits of living in Utah

We are in the business of helping residents of Utah have a better quality of life by representing local and special service districts across the state. That being said, we are the first to boast that the quality of life in Utah is amazing! We love living here! From the beautiful mountains, plentiful water recreation sites, friendly business policies, and affordable housing options, Utah is certainly a highly sought after destination to live and to vacation. Here are just a few of the reasons we love Utah.

Best in business – With a highly educated populace (thanks to plentiful and highly regarded state and private universities across the state) as well as agreeable policies for business owners, Utah is thriving. In fact, Forbes rated Utah as the best place for business! As a result, we are an attractive option for professionals in all industries who are looking to relocate. Innovation, competition, diversity, and affordability all contribute to the quality of life for residents of Utah.

Top-notch recreation – Utah is home to five national parks and a whopping 43 state parks! From rugged red rock, mountain landscapes, and clear water reservoirs, Utah is not lacking when it comes to the outdoor recreation scene. We are known as the state with the “best snow on earth” for good reason. Excellent skiing is available at any of the 10 world-class ski resorts in Utah located within a one-hour radius of the Salt Lake airport, as well as the many more scattered around the state. Hiking, biking, camping, rocking climbing, water sporting, and road-tripping are just a few of the things people visiting or residing in Utah can enjoy.

Upward growth – Despite the rapidly growing popularity of Utah, the state still remains less densely populated than other states. As the 13th largest state in the United States, it has less than 3 million residents. In comparison, Maryland has twice as many residents (over 6 million) and is just over 1/8 of the size of Utah. Traffic is manageable and there is still plenty of space for people to spread out plus plentiful resources to enjoy.

As you can see, Utah is truly amazing! Those who live here know just how special it is. We love what we do. Through our work, we are able to meet great people all across the state of Utah while discovering ways to improve and help provide services that are relevant and beneficial.
